Ringo Starr 5.1

Ringo Starr 5.1: The Surround Sound Collection Release Date: March 04, 2008 Label: Koch

Ringo Starr was so enamored with The Beatles' "Love" that he wanted to do a vaguely similar release of his own disappointing catalogue. Instead of encapsulating his entire set of yawn inducing solo work he settled on his favorites from his Koch years....anyways...apparently someone is excited...

"A selection of highlights from Ringo's latter-day albums for Koch, 5.1: The Surround Sound Collection is designed as a sampler for audiophiles and it should please most of that crowd...(except those that wanted true DVD-Audio instead of Dolby Digital).  This concentrates not on his steady stream of live recordings but rather his strong latter-day solo albums -- records that draw heavily from the lush sound of latter-day Beatles, so they lend themselves well to being opened up via Surround Sound. Of course, this is not a necessary purchase for listeners who don't enjoy immersing themselves with 5.1 sound, but for those who do, it's a nice experience." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Comments

[Fletch]

This disc is very good the music has a much better sound than the CD, teh CD suffering from the modern passion for maximising the signal to death. The DVD by comparrision while load is not overbearing, and teh music has plenty or warmth and depth. the song writing is not bad either.
keep up the good work Ringo and

[Don Lindbergh]

>except those that wanted true DVD-Audio instead of Dolby Digital
